a Friend Needed.

A Friend Needed.
The beach is baskin; in the sun,
The waves break On the shore,
And sit here TO W watch for one
Whom ali the girls adore
He comes, the youth I fsin would mash,
And monSst all others choose.
He wears a curly blonde nustache
And patent leather shoes-
How blue his eyes. how straight his nose,
How neatly brushed his hair!
how dewy fresh the little rose
That forms his boutonnicre!
He passes on with careless tread
l can but sit and frown;
No friend the magic word has said,
Miss Jenkins. Mr.. Brown"

Thus to lose:

On line.
Therefore, served in dainty dishes,

ArONEMENT.

n was a tomb in Flanders. old and gray,
knight in armor lying dead, unknown
Among the long forgotten, yet the sto0o
Cried out for vengeance wherethe dead man ny.
No name was chiseled at his side to say
What wrongs his spirit thirsted to atone.
Only the srmor with green moss oNergrown.
Aud those grim words no years had worn away.
II may he haply in the songs Of old
His deeds were wonders to sweet music ~,
His name the thunder of battle call
Among the things forgotten and untold.
His only r,.,urd Is the dead mans threat
An hour shall come thai shall atone for ALL"

In acceptance of an invitation extended
the press and few business men of this
city and the press Of Baltimore, by Col.

polls and Baltimore Short Line, a special
car left here about 10. Is yesterday with
party bound for Round Bay 10 view the
beauties and enjoy the ad vantages of that
new excursion resort reached by the Short

vented many from going and the train
that left this city carried but one merchant
and an editor. After a twenty minutes
ride Round Bay was reached and its var
ious points OF interest viewed and annoyed.
II is situated six and a half miles from
Annapolis by land and eight miles by
water, and twenty-five miles from Balti-
more. The scenery is delightful and pic
turesque. The resort is Isituated on The
beautiful Severn which at this point Is
two miles wide. Along the banks of the
river are large shade trees and wild flow
ers grow in abundance. The fragrant
magnolia, the water-liIy and various other
beautiful flowers and ferns adorn the
grove. Perhaps the chief point of interest
is Mt. Misery or Cobbin's hill as it is some
times called. 1t is 1853 feet high and is
historically connected because Il is here
that the Eighth New York Regiment was
on picket duty for two years during the
war. From this hill an extended view
can be obtained, embracing the Severn
